A fire broke out at a Japnika branch in Netanya early Tuesday, July 14, amid an ongoing criminal dispute. Firefighting teams are at the scene; no injuries or damage estimates are yet available. The incident follows a series of attacks on the chain, which is owned by Barak Abramov (also owner of Beitar Jerusalem).
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, July 13, at 18:09 Jerusalem, multiple Japnika branches were targeted with grenades, explosive devices, and arson in a coordinated campaign. Initial reports from N12 described suspected fragmentation grenades and explosive devices; by 18:09, i24NEWS had added arson to the list of suspected methods, and a single unverified report identified the chain as the target. Later that same hour, The Zioneer reported that Barak Abramov himself was the intended target of the attacks. The thread shows a rapid escalation from unverified claims to a confirmed pattern of attacks against the chain.
As The Zioneer reported on July 13, the attacks against Japnika branches are part of an ongoing criminal dispute targeting Barak Abramov. The chain has been the subject of a coordinated campaign involving grenades, explosives, and arson.
The cause of tonight's fire remains under investigation. It is not yet confirmed whether this incident is directly linked to the earlier attacks on July 13, or if it represents a new development in the criminal dispute.
